Think about it all the time
read a bunch of best sellers in the same genre as your book
rehearse your writing in your mind while taking no action to capture it
swear you’ll write it down, record it, etc. as soon as you….get home, find a recorder, blah blah
take lots of courses to learn how
think that if you don’t, you are in some way denying your legacy
think that if you don’t, you are in some way denying your God-given contract
think no one else has your understanding of your subject
think that your life is so interesting everyone will care just because you think you do
fall in love
fall out of love
consume yourself with cleaning
debate endlessly your true path in life
be multitalented and pulled by others into areas you are good at but don’t care about
be in constant need for thrill
seek instant gratification like weeding
be a consummate collaborator
be terrified that your unique contribution really has no validity because it stands on the shoulders of your mentors
lack total self discipline
experience deep grief
incessantly write your stories in your head
talk your stories away in social conversation
obsess on perfectionism
have so many different stories you don’t know which to tell
do give a crap
want to just initiate stuff and don’t want to polish
great ideas, but no delivery without a serious ultimatum-“dead—LINE”
you get too fancy for human consumption—you talk over folks heads, you can’t bring it down to everyday language
you are an idea person
you are dyslexic, add, adhd, and any other medical excuse
your back hurts when you sit too long.
You just don’t know where to start, when to stop
